Growing & Maintenance Tips
Typically grown as a hedge, this cedar can also be used in groupings for windscreens. Tolerates a wide range of soils, however, it does best in moist, humid conditions and mulching is recommended for the root zones. Do not heap mulch against the stems. If planted in the summer or fall, protection (burlap wrap) from drying winter winds is recommended for the first season.
